Who's that Pokemon? (SUPER SPECIAL SUPER UPDATE 5/8/24)

Devalue said:
Might be better served by asking about number of typings or generation. Learns by trying different methods, though. (Staves off repetitiveness too.) Stuffed a lot into the (single) question below. Looks like a lot. Covers only 169 Pokemon. Eliminated a few from the earlier question, but not many.

Is this Pokemon a regional bird, regional mammal, regional bug, regional dog, starter, pseudo-legendary, OR Pikaclone?

Nope.

Pop-in, I had an internal debate over Burmy and Wormadam, but ultimately chose not to because the only real difference is their typing, which means it's rather difficult to guess any difference. Other forms like Oricorio have more differences than just the type. Also, the Silvally or Arceus types, where their only difference literally is their typing. Idk. The Wormadams definitely were a hard one to choose but I did think about them and it is intentional that they're not on the list. ;D

Really? Has more differences than Oricorio, at least in in-game terms.
A. Different stats for each form (more Special-based for Plant, physical for Sandy, and in-between for Trash)
B. Different level-up moves at 26, 29, and 47 as well as different TM moves in Brilliant Diamond / Shining Pearl.

Places the different Wormadams (and Burmys) in different color groups as well (Green for Plant, Brown for Sandy, Red for Trash), unlike Silvally and Arceus.

Also, what should you say if you pick Wormadam and get asked about its type? Considers none of them the "default" form.

On a similar note, what do you do if you are asked about Deerling's color? Split them into four different groups. (Clustered all the Sawsbucks into Brown.)

Okay, after looking at everything more, I'm gonna clean up the exceptions list. I was already planning on doing a check over the rules now that we've had some actual experience with it, as well as adding a little extra fun bit, so it works out.
